There were even a few good frights very early on however even within those first few minutes there were signs that this was going to take a turn for the worse...and turn it did very quickly (every pun intended).
I actually tried to go to sleep within the first 30 minutes!
more after the jump....
I have to say the worst part of the whole debacle was the stupid and thin references to American Werewolf in London.
If you are tempted to see this movie because of the actors in it I have some thoughts for you:
- If you wanna see a good Benicio Del Toro movie, get Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas out again. Is it just me or is Benicio totally over rated? Nothing personal...I actually think he is cool...It’s just that I really had to think to come up with a decent movie that he is in.
- If you wanna see Sir Anthony Hopkins looking all hairy, watch Instinct again.
- If you wanna see Hugo Weaving in a movie, first ask yourself if you really must and if you must, watch The Matrix (part one only of course). Hugo is a terrible actor. I kept expecting him to start a diatribe about how Werewolves are a virus....
- Watch Natural Born Killers again....no real reason for this call...it’s just a great movie.
- If you wanna see cool looking Werewolves watch Teen Wolf or even Teen Wolf 2.
- If you wanna see mean Werewolves watch Underworld.
- If you wanna see gay Werewolves watch Full Moon.
In short...there are no good reasons to pay to see The Wolfman.
Download it if you can be bothered (they don’t deserve their money back on this film).
There is actually one cool plot twist that they could have almost saved the whole movie with but they didn’t have the foresight to use it...let me know if you spot it.
There are some kinda cool B grade horror moments and the Sheik was cool too.
